Life improvement is a journey, not a destination. You will try to improve the way you live all your life, and it will never end. There will always be something else that you could improve, or something that can be better.
If you concentrate only on the destination, you will not make all the changes you want to, because the only thing that you will see is your goal. It’s a lot harder to achieve your goal if you keep one eye at the finish line and the other on the next step you need to take. Instead of having all your attention to the next step and looking once in a while at the finish line to make sure you are still on the right track.
How to keep all your attention on that next step
Well, there is a lot of method that you can use and one can be very helpful for me but not for you. However, here’s what I do.
Make a blueprint it will be your journey. So start with your goal, what you want to achieve in your life, what person you want to become, what is a better life for you, etc. When you know your ultimate goal determine what you can do to make this happen.
So, say you want to become healthier; what are the steps you can take to achieve that goal?
1. Stop smoking
2. Eat healthier
3. Physical exercise
4. Decrease my stress
5. Etc.
This is the step you decide to do so you can achieve that awesome goal. However, how to go from point A to E? If you had never been healthy, it will be a very though journey if you try to do everything at once. Instead start with the easiest habit to change and work your way up. As you can see the first one; stop smoking might not be the best step to start with. Instead, you could start with a better diet. Concentrate on that first step and don’t forget to don’t rush things, the easier it is the more chance you have to succeed.
You could start with eating breakfast every morning it will already be a good improvement if you were not eating when you were waking up. Then you could eat healthy one time a week and when you feel comfortable with that number try to move up. One day you will be eating super healthy every day, but don’t rush it.
When that step is complete move to the next one and then the next one, until you’ve done everything that was on your blueprint.
If you concentrate on the step, you need to do it will be a lot easier because all your energy will be on that step and not on different one. It’s better to be really good at one thing than to know a bit of a lot of thing.
